David Banner, 1999 JACKSON, MS PHOTO BY PICTURE MAN
Fans and music listeners alike complain about the mixed messages David Banner often conveys, but all can agree that he knows how to get his points across in photographic form. American flag. Middle finger. Angry black man. Gun. Those elements make this picture worth more than a mere thousand words. Hell, a thousand words may be saying too much. After seeing how the United States government responded to communities effected by Hurricane Katrina, Banner probably has even more reasons to feel the way he’s portrayed in this picture.
